Blood (yura tamaki)

Complete | yura tamaki | 1997 released

its been a while since i've put down reviews but this was a masterpiece !! ik it was rocky, painful, and had annoying characters but i must stay the story was full of emotions and i just love how unique it is though it also reminded me of banana fish which is just pain :'DD kyle and sean's relationship seemed like sean used kyle as vinny's substitute ?? but i feel like he also had genuine feelings for him :')) i felt bad for kyle but not really lol bc he looked like he wasn't that much affected by sean and even straight up did it with another man after throwing a tantrum anyway the only character i love is sean though we must admit him doing it with kyle is a bit :/ idk though bc kyle just seems like a little kid but sean was kind and i felt bad esp how he was despised by the one he truly loves :(( i understand that vinny had trauma and whatnot but girl u don't need to kill and traumatize other people just bc of your trauma ???? bestie needs therapy :'> but i'm glad he accepted kyle towards the end and he even named his son after sean :)) i would also like to point out how mature and likeable sandy is ^^ she's one of those best girl characters bc she understood kyle and changed vinny ig ?? i mean i just want to give sandy some credit for not being a part of the annoying character clan :DD overall i think the plot was very interesting and quite unique ^^ i must admit it was a bit annoying and frustrating but it still deserves a higher rating !! there was also some character development so~ i think the selling point for me was the ending bc i'm glad that vinny changed for the better and i love how he still treasures sean even after knowing sean's true feelings for him :)) the art style is gorgeous !! love the classics this was a great read !!

Over Heat(Chamji)

Complete | Chamji | 2000 released

okay this was bad :'DD the only redeeming factor of this was its art, other than that this was a waste of time ㅠㅠ the plot doesn't make sense like i get it but it just wasn't adding up and the sudden rape at the end :'> the point of the story was to show off the pilot uniform since this is a part of a uniform-centered anthology but girl it did not give justice to the uniform we should've gotten more spicy and consensual scenes :')) anyway that was that, in short it wasn't good but if good art, revenge, and r word are right up your alley then go ahead ig ?? this was not for me i'm sorry so yea :'))

Syunrai to Mitsu

Ongoing | Retsujyo | 2019 released

i've been waiting for this to be completed and finally i got to read it !! it was definitely worth it ^^ the first part was quite painful since i don't really like seeing child abuse and the fact that they also arrested yan even though that was clearly yuen's way to protect and defend himself :(( i also felt bad to see yuen grow up to taking in sexual requests as his part-time ig, i mean there's nothing wrong with that if you really like your job but it seemed like yuen wasn't enjoying it and it may stemmed from his trauma as a child :< i don't get why yan kept his identity from yuen like girl ㅠㅠ i know he did that in order to avoid hurting yuen more but i don't get in what way :'DD but anyway i'm glad it all worked out in the end >< i was going to rate this with 5 stars but there were some stuff that was quite a blur to me and i also felt quite annoyed by the identity thingy part but i did love the ending esp when yan cleaned his name and did his best to change for the good ^^ they also took in the kids which is just adorable ㅠㅠ i wish we got to see more of their family life >< i hope there's extras :> the art style is very pretty !! this was a good read !!

Sick

Complete | KURAHASHI Tomo | 2014 released

i really wanted to like this but omfg the amount of things that was normalized and joked abt was not it for me :(( sudou is so fucking disgusting HELLO first he bullies kishi bc his facial expressions are interesting to him second he sexually harasses him :'> third HE JOKES ABT RAPING HIM ?????????? girl how am i supposed to like him ㅠㅠ also the way his friend just enables him and even supports him PLEASE :')) i feel so bad for kishi if i were to just read that part and forget abt everything then it would've been great but i don't want to push sudou's red flag personality under the rug so <33 also he never apologized for anything :'DD he never addressed why he did that to kishi and he never told kishi that he liked him :'> i don't think they'll last long tbh :(( ik sudou did help him in some way ?? idk he pushed kishi to be more comfortable with ppl ??? by what u ask ?? by harassing him on a daily of course <33 ik kishi's older brother was trying to distance the two but i'm annoyed bc he never knew what sudou was doing to kishi at school before sudou became "special" to kishi :'> ugh i'm just frustrated at this story tbh i rated it a 3 and i also put the "cute" and "sweet" tags bc the extras saved it for me esp the children~ i love their relationship with kishi's siblings which is why i gave it some reconsideration but it was bad :')) the art style and the children were the only redeeming factor ㅠㅠ this was meh :'DD petition for kishi to find a much better person to be with !!!!! <33

Hitori to Hitori no 3650nichi

Complete | hitomi | 2019 released

this was so good :'> UGH i wish it was a stand alone book bc i would've loved to see more of the main couple esp with katsumi's and their relationship's growth but i was still pretty satisfied esp at the last panel where katsumi told maki that he loves him :(( i also love how there was a tiny extra where they were talking abt how katsumi won't cry anymore bc he has maki :')) i'm the one crying ㅠㅠ omfg i'm so obsessed with them !! the plot was quite unique bc its kind of a rare set-up but the author executed it well esp with the psychological part ^^ its also pretty evident that trauma is not something that will go away in a few days, we can see that katsumi is still not fully healed but he is getting there and i'm so proud + happy for him bc they both deserve to move on from the past and start all over again (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `)♡ the second couple was okay, nothing too special since its your typical childhood friends + country boy set-up/dynamic but they were cute so it was okay ^^ (i just skimmed through it though) anyway i'm totally inlove with this story !! <33 i'm so happy for the both of them and i'll probably reread this again bc it really stirred my emotions :'> the art style is very very pretty too !! it really accentuated the psychological genre this was a great read !! it deserves a higher rating + more recognition <3

Hidamari ga Kikoeru

Complete | FUMINO Yuki | 2014 released

omfg okay i literally binged this and it was so worth it ㅠㅠ was it amazing, hell yeah :DD was it annoying, HELL YEAH :'DD well i think this story focused more on the growing pains of taichi and kouhei esp with the both of them having their own struggles in life ^^ i think its more of a coming-of-age story rather than romance bc the plot really focused on both of their problems paired with their character development >< it was a bit heavy to read since it kind of focused on kouhei's struggles and the reality they have to face everyday but i still enjoyed it since the author did a great job of mixing in taichi's humor which brought a light atmosphere <33 i also love how realistic it is esp as a slow burn :)) we never got to see them go to second base but i'm glad that kouhei is respecting taichi and is waiting for him to be completely ready !! :> the overall plot just felt heartwarming though there were a lot of misunderstanding ?? or should i say tiny conflicts in between which kind of annoyed me (but thats just me bc i hate drama ) but it added to the realistic-ness of the story ^^ i also love their dynamic !! absolutely obsessed with the polar opposites trope~ and i just love how kouhei laughs at every single idiotic thing taichi does (╥﹏╥) he always just looks at him with admiration in his eyes :(( esp when taichi's enjoying his food i also love how taichi'es goal in life is to keep making kouhei smile ㅠㅠ like they're literally perfect for each other :'> idk if there'll be more volumes but apparently its the end already which is sad bc i kind of wanted to see more of them together after college + being more domestic and all but i was quite satisfied with the ending esp with extra of them finally going on a vacation !! ❣️ i'm just so happy for the both of them bc even though kouhei thinks he's just a burden for taichi, its actually the complete opposite bc kouhei became a way for taichi to find his true passion and he also became his inspiration to keep living his life >< i also love how taichi helped kouhei to break out of his shell~ he was able to try out new things and he became more sociable i suppose hehe ^^ he also became more confident in himself and he was also able to accept his condition without worrying abt losing his ability to hear :')) taichi made him accept and treasure his disability which is just so beautiful ㅠㅠ i still have a lot to say since a lot did happen in the story but i just wanted to focus on the couple so thats that hehe~ overall this had such a unique and beautiful plot ^0^ it wasn't even that angsty BUT I CRIED and mind you i teared up 2 times throughout reading this and it wasn't even on the sad parts :'DD this story carried me on a rollercoaster ride but i'm not complaining the art style is hella gorgeous as well !! it matches the warm vibe the story has <33 this was such a great and wholesome read !! would definitely recommend esp to new bl readers~

Anoyo de Omae ni Suki dato Ieru

Complete | Tsukizuki Yoshi | 2019 released

this one was a pretty unique one ^^ i think the plot was quite confusing at first which is why i think this should be a reread type of story lol after understanding everything at the end, i think i need to reread the whole thing to make it make sense~ i'm happy kunimi's okay like omg i'm also glad that he was able to recover and he also ended up with gaku <33 i like how cute they are esp after 10 years of not seeing each other ^^ gaku really treasured kunimi since he waited for him all these years~ overall i think it was good :)) i'm liked how unique the concept of the plot is bc these type of tropes are not common esp in bl !! there wasn't much drama (i expected it to be more angsty since it involves suwerslides and all) since it focused on his past memories :> i also liked their relationship ig ?? i mean we didn't get to see a lot of it but they were cute esp towards the end :DD the art style is gorgeous though !! this was a good read !!

Boku no Omega yo Samenaide

Complete | Sakurai nanako | 2019 released

i wont excuse what the seme did in the first chapter but i loved how the story turned out !! would've loved to see them have a baby but overall it was a good story the art style is pretty !! a good read ❣ uhm reread this and what the fuck i don't understand how i gave a review like this bc omfg the alpha is so disgusting ??????? like girlie that was beyond red flag since the beginning of chapter 1 gawd :')) i was wondering why this had bad reviews when mine said "good read" but then when i reread it ㅠㅠ idk what i was on when i wrote this review but that wasn't me :'> giving this 1 star bc it was so bad

Beast & Feast

Complete | akira norikazu | 2010 released

i'm in the middle for this one~ i'm not into how they got together bc first that was straight up assault and i just felt like kazuha's feelings suddenly just blossomed out of nowhere ???? he said he never had any feelings for him 10 years ago so why is he suddenly in love with him after being assaulted ㅠㅠ anyway i think they turned out to be cute at the end idk :')) i really like the pair up but the relationship wasn't for me but it was okay ig ?? it had your common yakuza tropes like kidnapping and whatnot so yea thats about it :'DD the art style's pretty though this was not bad ig but i also didn't really enjoy it :'>

Wadatsumi no Yometori

Complete | Monzen yayohi | 2019 released

i liked it but it was also a bit meh~ i feel like the plot was a bit forced esp on kiyo's part bc being turned immortal without his consent would've been very painful but ig i'm glad that they fell inlove (?) at the end ^^ the story of their past and esp the part where they were explaining abt the immortality of mermaids, was quite of confusing but that might be just me since i read this while i was sick lol anyway i think it was pretty interesting and unique esp the trope, but i wish i felt more of their connection bc the whole thing just felt forced :< the art's great though !! still a pretty good read
